K. Sharma2, D.P. Singh1* 1.Department of Environmental Science, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Raibareilly Road, Lucknow, India 2. Department of Botany, University of Lucknow, India ABSTRACT: The primary objective of the present study is to focus about the current arsenic contamination in soil and drinking water of Uttar Pradesh, India in order to make public aware about the health hazards of arsenic contaminated water and understand the need for immediate action. Agricultural soil and ground water samples of arsenic affected areas of district Lakhimpur Kheri and Unnao (Uttar Pradesh, India) were analyzed for presence of arsenic (As). Ground water samples collected from all the contaminated sites of both the districts contained As in the range of 23 to 140 µg L-1 which was far above the permissible limit of WHO i.e. 10 µg L-1. Surprisingly, the soil samples contain almost 40-45 times more arsenic than that found in the ground water samples of the same site. The seed germination of three selected crops (Pisum sativum, Oryza sativa and Phaseolus vulgaris) was also estimated in the presence of different concentrations (1-10 mg L-1) of arsenate (AsV). Results showed a decrease in the percent seed germination, root length, shoot length and increase in phytotoxicity between 1.0 to 5 mg L-1 level of arsenic, on all the three tested crops. The toxicity of arsenic was found in the order of P. vulgaris >P. sativum > O. sativa.

This toxic metalloid generally exists in trivalent arsenite (As-III) and pentavalent arsenate (As-V) forms as well as in the form of arsine gas. Arsenic in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems attracts worldwide attention primarily because of its adverse impact on human health [1]. WHO and USEPA recommend a provisional drinking water guideline of 10 µg L-1[2]and 1.5 to 2 mg Kg-1 in soil [3]. The geogenic source of arsenic is reported in over 20 countries including Bangladesh and India where arsenic occurs naturally in aquifers [4], but anthropological activities like mining, burning of fossil fuels and uses of pesticides also cause arsenic contamination [5,6] The use of arsenic contaminated groundwater for irrigation purpose in crop fields may be responsible for elevated level of arsenic concentration in surface soil and in the plants grown in these areas [7]. Human exposure of arsenic is known to occur by ingestion of contaminated drinking water and food. Accumulation of arsenic by plants allows it to enter in the food chain and finally reaches to the body of human beings. Arsenic is known to cause skin lesions, blackening of foot, bladder, kidney, liver, lung and skin cancers [8,9]. Seed germination and early seedling growth are considered to be more sensitive to metal toxicity than the mature plants [10,11,12]. The present investigation was aimed to find out the level of arsenic contamination of soil and water in Lakhimpur Kheri and Unnao districts of Uttar Pradesh (India) and also to find out whether there is any relationship between arsenic contamination of soil and ground water. Further, efforts were made to study the phytotoxicity response of three important crops i.e., Pisum sativum, Oryza sativa and Phaseolus vulgaris against arsenic toxicity. 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1. Sampling The ground water and soil samples were collected from five villages of Unnao district (26°32’0”N and 80°30’0”E) namely, Gaja Khera, Murtaza Nagar, Sultan Khera, Kuddu Khera, Shuklaganj and four villages of Lakhimpur Kheri district (27°57’0”N and 80°46’0”E) namely, Manjhara, Parasia, Pakharia and Trilokpur of Uttar Pradesh, India (Fig. 1). From each village two sites were selected randomly from where ground water (hand pump/bore well) and soil samples were collected. The soil samples were collected from a depth of 15 cm in sterile plastic bags. © 2018 Life Science Informatics Publication All rights reserved Peer review under responsibility of Life Science Informatics Publications 2018 March – April RJLBPCS 4(2) Page No.339 Vishnoi et al RJLBPCS 2018 www.rjlbpcs.com Life Science Informatics Publications Fig 1: Arsenic affected surveyed areas including Lakhimpur kheri and Unnao districts of Uttar Pradesh, India. 2.2. Determination of Arsenic In Water And Soil Samples Water samples were digested by following the standard method for examination of water [13]. The soil samples were digested by the method given by USEPA (3050 B)[14]. The arsenic concentration in soil and water samples was estimated by using Hydride Generator Double-Beam Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (Varian AA 240 FS, Australia) at 193.7 nm. 2.3. Phytotoxicity Assay The stock solution of arsenic was prepared by dissolving Sodium Arsenate in Milli-Q water in calculated amount. Seeds of P. sativum, O. sativa and P. vulgaris were selected for testing the toxicity of As-V. Seeds were surface sterilized with 0.1% HgCl2 solution and germinated in sterilized petri plates with different arsenic concentration (1-10 mg L-1) in laboratory conditions (25±2ºC). At different time interval, radicle length was recorded. Emergence of radicles of more than 1.0 mm size was taken as a criterion for seed germination as well as calculation of different phytotoxicity parameters. Percent Phytotoxicity was calculated by the formula developed by Chou and Lin[15] and modified by Ray and Banerjee[16] Phytotoxicity (%) Radicle length of control (cm) − radicle length of test (cm) = X100 Radicle length of Control (cm) Germination Index was calculated by the equation given by IRSA [17]. Gs Ls Germination index (GI) = Gc Lc © 2018 Life Science Informatics Publication All rights reserved Peer review under responsibility of Life Science Informatics Publications 2018 March – April RJLBPCS 4(2) Page No.340 Vishnoi et al RJLBPCS 2018 www.rjlbpcs.com Life Science Informatics Publications Where Gs and Ls are seed germination percentage and root elongation (for the sample). Gc and Lc are corresponding control values. Metal Tolerance Index was calculated from radicle length data using following formulae [18]. radicle length of seedling in test (cm) MTI (%) = X 100 radicle length of seedling in control (cm) 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1. Concentration of as in Soil and Water Maximum arsenic contamination of both soil (5.679 mg Kg-1 As) and water (139.5 µg L-1 As) was found at Shuklaganj (Unnao) among all the investigated sites (Table 1), followed by Trilokpur (4.901 mg Kg-1 As in soil and 100.15 µg L-1 As in water) and Parasia villages (3.515 mg Kg-1 As in soil and 83.5 µg L-1 As in water) (Lakhimpur Kheri). It was found that the arsenic level was higher only in those soil samples where ground water contains relatively higher level of arsenic. The soil samples contained almost 40-45 times more arsenic than that is present in the ground water samples of the same site. It can be argued that accumulation of arsenic in soil may be due to regular use of ground water for irrigation as soil arsenic level was higher in those areas where ground water was highly contaminated. Similar results were also obtained by Meharg and Rahman [7] who observed the elevated level of arsenic concentration in plants and surface soil where arsenic contaminated water was used for irrigation purpose. All the drinking water samples contain arsenic content beyond the permissible limit i.e.10 µg L-1 as prescribed by USEPA. Table 1.

  • Study Sponsored by Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Agro-Economic Research Centre University of Allahabad Allahabad-211002
    Study No. 143 Publication No. 192 FFFaFaaarrrrmermer Suicides ininin Uttar Pradesh Prof. Ramendu Roy Dr. H.C. Malviya Haseeb Ahmad Study Sponsored by Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Agro-Economic Research Centre University of Allahabad Allahabad-211002 January- 2017 [1] PREFACE India is basically an agrarian country because more than 60 percent population of the country resides in rural areas and their main occupation is agriculture. Besides this, the livelihood of majority of population of rural areas of the country is also depended on the agriculture. However, the agriculture is still a gamble of monsoon. It is an uncertain and un-predictable occupation because it still depends on weather condition. The drought, flood, heavy rains, hail storm, etc are the common phenomena in the country. These are causes of failure of crops. On account of failure of crops, the indebtedness is also increasing among the farmers. More than70% of total farmers of the country are marginal and small farmers who are mostly in the debt trap. The crop failure, indebtedness, illness, family problems, drug abuser etc are reasons for famers’ suicides in the country. In spite of doing all efforts, the incidence of farmers’ suicides is not being stopped yet in the country. The incidences of farmers’ suicide mostly occurred in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Chhattisgarh. These are most prone states for incidence of farmers’ suicides. However, it is also a global phenomena. Sri. Lanka, USA, Canada, England and Australia are also in the grip of incidence of farmers’ suicides. Out of total farmers suicides of 5650 in 2014 in India the maximum share accounted for 45.45% in Maharashtra followed by 15.90%, 14.62%, 7.80%, and 5.68% in Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Karnataka respectively.

    June 07, 2019 Green Gas Limited: Long term rating upgraded to [ICRA]AA(Stable); Short term rating reaffirmed; rated amount enhanced Summary of rating action Previous Rated Amount Current Rated Instrument* Rating Action (Rs. crore) Amount(Rs. crore) Rating upgraded to [ICRA]AA Proposed Term Loan 500.00 500.00 (Stable) from [ICRA]AA-(Stable) Short term Non-Fund Based 140.0 240.0 [ICRA]A1+ reaffirmed Total 640.00 740.00 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The rating upgrade take into account the healthy financial and operational performance in FY2019 as well as the expanding distribution network in existing and new geographical areas (GAs)which would lead to increase in scale of operations of the company in the medium term. Further, GGL had undertaken significant capacity addition during FY2019 in terms of CNG stations as well as PNG connections for all segments. As a result, GGL has witnessed significant growth in scale of operations evident by 18.2% YoY revenue growth in FY2019. Moreover, with CNG sales continuing to contribute larger share of revenue, the profitability of the company is expected to remain robust going forward as CNG is a high margin segment for the company. The ratings also factors in strong promoter profile (Indian Oil Corporation Limited-IOCL-rated [ICRA]AAA(Stable)/[ICRA]A1+ and GAIL (India) Limited-GAIL-rated [ICRA]AAA(Stable)/[ICRA]A1+) which has demonstrated track record of providing managerial and operational support to the company. For any expansion in the existing and new geographical areas, ICRA expects the promoters to provide equity support to the company, if required, to maintain healthy financial profile.
